The babies have been doing fairly well sleeping at night. Carter hasn't been feeling well. He has had a slight fever and a runny nose. I'm not sure if he got it from Erin or if she got it from him because she hasn't been feeling well either.
The boys have continued to play with their train set. and play with their train set. and play with their train set. Definitely the best gift they could have received. They have also been playing with their Hot Wheels and Lego Duplos quite a bit.
I know that my parents and brothers really enjoyed spending time with the kids. My parents, middle brother and I took the kids out shopping on Tuesday. We went to a few stores and then stopped by the Grecian Plate to get some Gyros and Souvlakis to take home for lunch. Erin wanted to stay at home and get some cleaning done. My oldest brother also stayed at home because I think he was sleeping when we left.
We spent a lot of time the past few days trying to figure out what we were going to do with all the kids stuff from Christmas. We put a bit of it downstairs in the basement. We took down the tree and moved some other toys out to the Living Room.
The other day Erin was reading a new book (The 12 Dogs of Christmas) to Calvin. Instead of the traditional gifts this book has a different dog for each day. One of the days (Day 10, I think) had Chocolate Labs. Calvin immediately said "chocolate bar" after Erin said Chocolate Lab. That kid is addicted to Hershey's chocolate bars.
My parents and brothers left and headed back home to Charlotte Wednesday morning. I took the kids to daycare at the same time that they left. I was glad to see the kids warm up to my family very quickly. They only get to see them a few times a year so you never know how they will react around them. We used to use Skype a lot, but since moving in March we just haven't used it much. Part of the reason is that we moved the camera to the basement and we haven't been down there too much lately.
The boys really enjoyed playing with everyone and showing off all the neat things they can do.
We didn't really do much the past few days other than play with the kids. We still don't let them watch TV so we didn't have it on at all until they went to bed. We did eat a lot though. I need to get back to the gym and work off some of this holiday weight. I haven't stepped on a scale, but I imagine I've gained a few pounds.
